The Li family did not stay up late and went to bed very early.

New Year's Day.

In the middle of the night, Li Ping'an was awakened by the scattered sound of firecrackers.

Some people are already getting up early and starting to eat.

Qin Huairu just wanted to get out of the bed.

Li Pingan said: "Let's sleep a little longer. I told my mother that there is no need to get up so early!"

Qin Huairu reluctantly agreed, and the two fell asleep again.

Li Ping'an and Qin Huairu didn't get up until the sound of firecrackers also sounded in the yard.

"Let's go to the department store to buy a watch later." Li Ping'an said.

There is a mechanical wall clock in the operating room. When Li Pingan was performing surgery, he would ask Xiaolu and others if he wanted to know the time.

I haven't thought about buying a watch in the past few months.

Now that I don't work, I feel it's inconvenient not to have a watch, as if I can't control time.

"Well!" Qin Huairu said: "After the New Year, I will remind you then!"

After the two got up, they went next door.

Li Lin did have an old-fashioned pocket watch. He bought it more than ten years ago. He looked at the pocket watch and said: "Ping An, it's only a quarter past five. Why did you get up so early and didn't sleep for a while? After the meal is ready, you Mom will yell at you!"

"I can't sleep!" Li Ping'an said: "The firecrackers are ringing outside, so I might as well get up!"

Soon Mrs. Xu put the dumplings into the pot and cooked them.

Li Ping'an went outside and set off firecrackers, and the family began to eat.

After eating, he and Qin Huairu paid New Year's greetings to their parents.

Mrs. Xu gave Qin Huairu 50,000 yuan and said, "I'm giving you the lucky money to bring good luck!"

Qin Huairu put it away with a smile.

Mrs. Xu said to her again: "Let Ping An and his father-in-law go out to celebrate the New Year, and you stay at home with me!"

Qin Huairu is a new daughter-in-law. If she goes over to pay New Year's greetings, her discerning neighbors may give her some New Year's money. Ms. Xu doesn't want to get involved too much with her neighbors, so she simply lets Qin Huairu stay at home with her.

Qin Huairu nodded and said to Li Ping'an: "Brother Li, don't forget to go to Aunt Mei's house to pay New Year's greetings. She takes good care of us!"

Li Ping'an agreed: "I know!"

He went out with his father Li Lin.

There was an old photo frame in Xu's house. There were several photos in the photo frame. Qin Huairu stood beside it and looked at it.

There is only one photo in the frame of Li Ping'an.

Five or six-year-old Li Ping'an stood next to his teenage sister, with a schoolbag on his back.

"Mom" Qin Huairu called out and asked, "Brother Li has gone to school at such a young age!"

"He went to school early, and he was originally accompanying his sister. Unexpectedly, he actually became famous, went to high school, and even went to medical school!" Xu said with a smile.

At this time, three boys from the Liu family next door came over to pay New Year greetings.

Liu Guangqi and his two younger brothers kowtowed when they entered the door.

Qin Huairu turned around and saw them kneeling on the ground, a little at a loss. She had just gotten married and it was the first time she encountered such a situation.

Mrs. Xu quickly asked the three Liu brothers to get up and gave each of them a handful of melon seeds, a few toffee, and two walnuts.

The three brothers left happily.

Qin Huairu said: "Mom, I'm going next door!"

Mrs. Xu nodded and grabbed a handful of melon seeds for her. Qin Huairu took them to the next room.

The news spread that the three boys from the Liu family got melon seeds and toffee from the Li family, and the children in the yard came over to pay Xu a New Year's greeting.

After dinner, the He family brothers and sisters first went to the Li family to pay New Year greetings.

None of them made new clothes, they were still cotton-padded clothes made last year. The second aunt gave them relief materials and helped them wash them.

Mrs. Xu gave the brother and sister some melon seeds and toffee, and also gave He Yuyue 10,000 yuan as a new year's gift.

After He Yuyu accepted it, he thanked: "Thank you, Auntie!"

Li Lin took Li Ping'an to Liu Haizhong's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Many families in the yard did not buy candies or melon seeds. Most of them prepared some cooked peanuts and gave them a handful when their neighbors came over to pay New Year greetings.

The same is true for the Liu family.

The second aunt grabbed a handful of peanuts for Li Pingan and handed them to him and said, "Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, Pingan was married!"

Li Lin was also filled with emotion.

The door of the deaf old lady's house was locked.

Li Lin frowned.

It's like this every year during the Chinese New Year.

The deaf old lady doesn't like others to pay her New Year greetings, nor does she want to give others lucky money. She doesn't want to give even a handful of peanuts to the neighbor's children.

The eldest mother brought her a bowl of dumplings, and after she finished eating, she went for a walk.

"Dad!" Li Ping'an said: "Let's go to another house!"

When they arrived at Xu Damao's house, Ms. Zhou was extremely enthusiastic. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds for Li Pingan and even gave him a few toffee. She kept praising Li Pingan for his promising youth and that he was a good doctor.

Li Ping'an felt baffled.

Apart from the Lou family, he has never heard of anyone who Zhou worked so hard to curry favor with!

The two came out of Xu's house.

Xu Damao said unhappily: "Mom, why did you give Li Ping'an so many things? There are not enough melon seeds for my sister and me!"

Mr. Zhou is very nice.

She also bought some melon seeds and toffee, but not that many.

When the Liu family boy, He Yuyu, and the Yan family brothers came over to pay New Year greetings, they almost gave away toffee and melon seeds, and the Zhou family gave as much as Li Ping'an.

How much can he and his sister have left?

"Damn Damao!" Xu Fugui said, "Why did you suddenly change your temper and be so nice to that kid from the Li family?"

"What do you know? The boy from the Li family doesn't know what tricks he has used recently. I have heard Mr. Tan praise him many times!"

"Ms. Tan kept praising Li Ping'an for his good medical skills. Judging by his attitude, the Li family and the Lou family have a good relationship. We can't offend him casually!"

"Besides, Lao Li is the factory doctor of your machine factory. If you get along well, we might be able to spend less money on medical treatment in the future. He is the only one in the factory's infirmary. He can't say how much the medical expenses are. How many?"

Mrs. Zhou said: "Anyway, our family will have more contact with the Li family in the future, and we will get benefits!"

Arrive at Jia's house.

Jia Zhang also suddenly became enthusiastic about the Li family and his son.

When Li Ping'an was wondering if this guy had taken the wrong medicine, he heard Jia Zhang say: "Ping'an, Dongxu will be an apprentice in a few years. How about letting him follow you to work in the Sixth Hospital?"

Jia Zhang had already thought about it.

The Liu family's small clinic is just a small ditch, but it cannot hold a big fish like her son. When Jia Dongxu learns his skills, he will be asked to leave the clinic and find a job in a big hospital.

"Isn't it going to be several years before your Dongxu becomes an apprentice?" Li Ping'an reluctantly dealt with it and said, "Let's wait until then!"

Arrive at Yi's house.

Yi Zhonghai looked like a donkey and didn't even say a few words to the Li family and his son.

The aunt grabbed a handful of peanuts for Li Pingan, and the father and son left.
